San Francisco at Chicago

Ryan Dempster had a terrible outing four games back at the White Sox but then helped the Cubs beat these Giants and followed that performance up with a one-run gem vs. Harang and the Reds. On the season, Dempster has a 2.58 ERA at home to go with a perfect 10-0 record. Yes, Lincecum is making waves and owns an impressive 10-2 mark himself, but the point is, Dempster is pitching every bit as good. So, it comes down to location and offense here. The Cubs are 37-11 here at home, scoring 6.4 runs per game. They hit a bit of an offensive slump a few weeks back but they are htting the ball well again. The Giants only score 4.1 per game and they are 10-25 in day games. Chicago is 13-2 this season as a home favorite and they a perfect 11-0 with Dempster on the hill. We'll back the Cubs here.
